Authentication

Listing Users

The command below lists all users in Shipa. Administrators may also filter users by user email or role name with context value.

shipa user list [--user/-u useremail] [--role/-r role [-c/--context-value value]]

Available flags:

Creating Users

The command below creates a user within Shipa's remote server. It will prompt for the password before it issues the request:

shipa user create <email>

Adding Members to Teams

To add members to teams created in Shipa, users will need to leverage the role assign command, as follows:

shipa role assign <role> <[email protected]> <team>

Removing Users

The command below removes users from a remote Shipa server.

Since orphan teams cannot exist, Shipa may refuse to remove a user that is the last member of a team. If this is the case, make sure the team is removed by using the command team remove before removing the user:

shipa user remove [email]

User Information

When needed, the command below displays information about a specific current user:

shipa user info

Login

Login initiates a new session for a user. If using Shipa's native authentication scheme, Shipa will ask for the email and the password.

Once completed, the token generated by the Shipa server will be stored in ${HOME}/.shipa/token.

All Shipa actions require the user to be authenticated (except shipa login and shipa version).

shipa login [email]

Logout

The logout command terminates the session with the Shipa server.

shipa logout

Changing Passwords

The command below changes the password of the logged-in user. Shipa will ask for the current password, the new and confirmation:

shipa change password

Resetting Password

shipa reset password <email> [--token|-t <token>]

Resets the user password.

This process executes two steps:

• Generate a new token
• Reset the password using the token

To generate the token, users should run this command without the --token flag. The token will be mailed to the user.

With the token in hand, the user can finally reset the password using the --token flag. The new password will also be mailed to the user.
